Me n JOEL just pulled off a blockbuster of a trade. basically a swap of rb and te's but it looks as follows

JOEL RECEIVES:
Michael Bush
Zach Miller

PAWNO RECEIVES
Darren McFadden
Owen Daniels

im really feeling the addition of McFadden, but i think JOEL ultimately gets the bigger fantasy point contribution with Michael Bush redzone ability

and blimey... i gave up week1 TE stud in Zach Miller for a TE that was probowl last year but could be in for a long year with a awful TEXANS OFFENSE (will get a better indication this weekend if Scuab, Andre, Slaton and Owen Daniels can return to FANTASY FOOTBALL ELite production.

JOEL wins cause I like Bush more than McFadden and based off the Texans passing performance last week... Miller is an upgrade over Daniels. Plus, Bush is the going to take away goal-line carries from McFadden... which means, more TDs.

Well, considering it was a Bucs wallpaper I found somewhere else a while ago and that my only job was to resize it, I graciously accept your compliment.

You haven't counter-counter-countered my trade, tho.

Eh... no.

Yeah, Flacco was autodrafted for me, but I replaced him with Hass as soon as you dropped him. I didn't believe for a second all that hype about Flacco in preseason and thought the Ravens would be a running first, second and third team again.

But it was a funny trade, didn't it?

On paper, Pawno wins, because I expect Daniels to have a better season than Miller (although barely) and DMC to be the feature back fo the Raiders.

Of course, if Bush gets the goal line carries, DMC's value gets reduced a great deal and JOEL gets the best of the trade, because there ain't much difference between Daniels and Miller.

hmmmm i am very tempted to play Larry Johnson, mainly because it is against the raiders, because of his historical success... then again, LT usually dominates the raiders as well, and didn't dominate as we seen in the past.

I cant believe that Moss and Brady havent hooked up for a TD yet, what a great game wasted by my 2 RBs, I have gotten nothing out of my receivers yet.....good game Xbay, looks like you may have gotten to Tony Romo before the game....that pick6 was served up pretty sweet.

In my match-up, I was down 13 points against Eman, with only Dallas Clark left to play. Luckily, first play of the game, Manning throws an 80-yard TD pass to Clark. Victory to the Juggernaut!

But I feel this highlights the main problem (I see) with fantasy football. It's all about the match-ups. For example, Eman would have beaten 5 other teams in our league this week with the score he had. I think TMC had a similar example last week, where he only just lost, but would have smoked pretty much the rest of us.

Sometimes I think fantasy football would be better if it was just done roto-style, where the top 4 with the highest point total making the play-offs. Head to Head in some ways is really about luck, and doesn't necessarily rewards those with good teams, more those with good match-ups. Anyway, just some food for thought. I'm just glad to be in the win column

Sadly (for you), you play the TMCs this week. Get ready to be demolished. It'll be the revenge of the Flaccogate.

Yeah, it would be fair to have a roto league for the regular season and h2h during the playoffs, but I like the current h2h mode for the full season. Luck obviously plays a role, but I don't think it matters much over the course of a full year... although it's true it can decide any given matchup.
